Twilight’s Robert Pattinson To Play Kurt Cobain In New Film?

Twilight’s leading man Robert Pattinson is set to play Kurt Cobain in a forthcoming biopic. The Sun reports that the British actor – known as R-Patz to his teen fans – has landed his “dream role” in the part of the Nirvana frontman.

Patttinson apparently “has always thought of himself as a musician rather than an actor” and so the role is “ideal for the pin-up”, according to the paper’s source.

A long-standing sticking point in any potential biopic has been Cobain’s widow, Courtney Love, however it is suggested the singer will have a “key role” in the project by Universal Pictures, and she has been in regular contact with Pattinson.
